{Go Easy Momma}

A quick read for all you new Mommas and Moms to be out there. As I watch my friends prepare to be moms, whether pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or with brand new babies. I keep thinking what is the most important thing I’m learning right now or what would my advice be. 

I have scattered thoughts through out these long days, and it is rare that I have a minute to compile my thoughts into one cohesive paragraph. I just keep coming back to the some place, the same thought; I just have to share it. I am 4 months into this new life, so I have no perspective, I’m in it, and I’m eyeball deep in the thick of it. So bear with me as I share what’s on my heart.

 So here it is:

 Go easy on yourself momma, give yourself grace, have time to be frustrated. You are weary, you are emotional, you are tired, and you don't know what you're doing. All those books, all that advice, all those Pinterest articles.....take them with reservation. Your precious baby cannot be compared to another, and you cannot compare yourself to another mom. Some things are just out of your control, but this time is sweet. It will end, even though these weeks feel like years. You will want them back. That screaming baby, that exhausted smile, the drool, the spit up; all of it. One day it will all be over, and you will want it back, you will want to kiss those cheeks, stroke those little feet, see his tiny face erupt into a gummy smile. So momma go easy on yourself. You will have days where the laundry will pile up, the kitchen sink might be full, but it is OKAY! You will have days were you feel no progress is made, where sleep is a distant memory, and taking a shower is not an option. So please go easy, get through this day, and then you can tackle the next one! You are strong, you are smart, you are beautiful, you were made for this, you can do it Momma!
